Uh, maybe he's saying that an "accurate" translation isn't necessarily the best? I for one wish TPCi would add a bit more whimsy to the script like 4Kids did, make it sound a bit more lively and a bit less like a translated script.
I can sum up the frequency and severity of 4Kids' edits in just two words.
POKEMON CHRONICLES
That is what the Pokemon Dub would eventually turn out to be like had it remained under 4Kids' control.
I know this much...
They would've RUINED Hunter J & Team Galactic, just liked they ruined every damn villain they dubbed :scared: :bheart:. Even Paul would've been messed up.
Hell, OLM probably never would've had the nerve to bring in the likes of J and Paul in the first place if those idiots were still in charge...
The voice actors for the main characters would have remained the same. I could see them having the same voices for Iris and Cilan, but I'm not sure who they would have gotten for Dawn and Paul. The openings would be better since they probably would have moved the show to their Saturday morning block after Kids' WB stopped airing it instead of moving it to Cartoon Network. That would have allowed them to make the openings a bit longer, but at the same time, there would be more edits than they would have to deal with on Cartoon Network. They would also change the background music more often. The gap between the two versions might be longer considering how big it was when 4Kids was dubbing the show. 4Kids would also most likely be in better financial shape if they still had Pokemon, although I'm not sure if the situation with Yu-Gi-Oh! would have led them to lose Pokemon too.
While I would have preferred keeping the voice actors and the openings would have been better, those are the only major advantages I could see with 4Kids still dubbing the anime, so I think that TPCI was for the best in a lot of other ways.
Can you imagine Veronica Taylor voicing Dawn/Iris? Eric Stuart for Paul/Barry/Cilan? Misty's VA for Bianca?
